सिद्धलक्ष्मीर्मोक्षलक्ष्मीर्जयलक्ष्मीस्सरस्वती । श्रीलक्ष्मीर्वरलक्ष्मीश्च प्रसन्ना मम सर्वदा ॥

This five-wicked brass oil lamp shows Goddess Laxmi reclining on a lotus atop the lamp. The lamp's entire concept is to adore the goddess with the warmth of light and seek her favours. The light is accompanied by a magnificently carved stand with jaali work on columns. The lamp's base is sturdy, with classic motifs of inverted lotus feathers and a shallow disc. On Thursdays, it is thought that lighting the column lights, also known as Kuthu Vilakkus, sends the goddess' heavenly graces into the households and attracts blessings from the various manifestations of Lakshmi; Siddha Lakshmi, Moksha Lakshmi, Jaya Lakshmi, Saraswati, Sri, and Vara Lakshmi.

Embodying Divine Grace and Prosperity

This exquisite brass lamp is more than just a source of light; it's a conduit to blessings and a symbol of abundance, meticulously crafted in the rich artistic tradition of South India. Atop its elegant pedestal sits a radiant depiction of Goddess Lakshmi, the benevolent deity of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. Her serene countenance, adorned with divine grace, emanates an aura of peace and auspiciousness. The goddess is often depicted with lotus flowers, a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening, and here she holds one, bestowing her blessings upon all who behold her. Her four arms represent the four goals of human life: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation). ––––––––––

A Testament to Traditional Craftsmanship

Hand-fashioned from high-quality brass, this lamp showcases the intricate artistry that has been passed down through generations of South Indian artisans. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the delicate embellishments adorning the base and stem to the finely sculpted figure of Goddess Lakshmi. The warm, lustrous glow of the brass is believed to amplify the positive energies within a space, making this lamp a perfect addition to any home or sacred area. In Hindu tradition, lighting a lamp, especially during festivals and daily prayers, symbolizes the dispelling of darkness, both literal and metaphorical, and the welcoming of knowledge, enlightenment, and divine presence. ––––––––––

Bringing Auspiciousness Home

The presence of Goddess Lakshmi is considered highly auspicious, and this lamp serves as a beautiful and powerful representation of her divine grace. It is traditionally used during puja (worship) rituals, especially during festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, which is dedicated to her. Placing this lamp in your home or office is believed to attract wealth, success, and material as well as spiritual well-being. The diya, or oil lamp, has a profound significance in Hinduism, representing the eternal flame of consciousness and the dispelling of ignorance. This lamp, graced by the image of Lakshmi, amplifies these qualities, offering a tangible connection to the divine energy of prosperity. Its substantial presence and intricate design make it a statement piece that is both spiritually significant and aesthetically pleasing, a treasure to be cherished and passed down.

The Power of Light: Understanding the Role of Oil Lamps in

Hinduism Hinduism is a boon to human society for it guides everyone to follow their Dharma and rise above the material concept of life. Hinduism is also known as “Sanatan Dharma”. These are Sanskrit terms in which Sanatan means “eternal” and Dharma means “Intrinsic nature or occupation”. Thus it deals with the intrinsic nature or the real identity of the living entities; that which can never be taken away from them. The principles of Hinduism are given in the Vedic literature or scriptures that are considered “Apaurusheya”; they have not been written by any ordinary person but have been compiled by Vyasadev, the literary incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna. The word “Veda” means complete knowledge, both material and spiritual. The knowledge in Vedic literature is so vast and precise that if one looks carefully, he will notice that nothing is sentimental or imaginary but is based on facts and truth. There is a clear description and information about the identity of all living beings, the nature of the Absolute Truth, the reason for the existence of this world, the information about the world beyond this universe, and the relationship between us and God, the Absolute Truth.

Why do we light a lamp?

There are many rituals recommended in the Vedas for engaging our body and mind in the service of God. One of them is the lighting of ghee or oil lamps before the deity. According to the Vedic injunctions, all auspicious functions begin with lighting a lamp. It has a great spiritual significance. It is believed that the light of the lamp symbolizes “knowledge”, the wick symbolizes the false ego of the living entity, and ghee (clarified butter) or oil symbolizes all the negative tendencies (Anarthas) accumulated in the heart such as greed, lust, anger, and envy. When the lamp is lit by spiritual knowledge, all the Anarthas are exhausted, and the false ego, which is the root cause of conditional life, is also burnt. Therefore, the lamp is lit before the Lord as a sacrifice of our false ego in His service. Just as the light of the lamp dissipates all darkness, similarly, the light of knowledge dissipates ignorance of the Jivas and enables us to realize our real identity and purpose of life.

Why only an oil or ghee lamp?

One may question why only an oil lamp is lit before the Lord and why not an artificial light source. This may sound logical but lighting a lamp has a further spiritual significance. The flame of the light in a lamp always burns upwards indicating that by cultivating spiritual knowledge, one achieves the highest perfection of life and is always victorious. Also, a traditional lamp is the purest form of offering.

In almost every house of a follower of Sanatan Dharma, an oil or ghee lamp is lit before the altar of the Lord or before the Tulsi plant. Some people light it at dawn, some at dusk, and some people prefer to light it at dawn and dusk. Either ghee or sesame oil can be used to burn the wick. Vaishnavas (devotees of Lord Vishnu or Krishna) especially light a ghee lamp every day in the month of Kartik to offer their love and devotion to the Lord.
